Abstract

It has troubled some readers that Marianne Moore never included Emily Dickinson among her influences. But Moore had little exposure to Dickinson before the publication of The Single Hound in 1914, just months before her own poems began to appear in print. By 1924 Moore had come to appreciate Dickinson enough to be flattered by comparisons with her. By 1932, when she wrote a review of Dickinson's letters, Moore was less in need of literary models than of personal ones. Dickinson became for her a model of personal and artistic integrity, one she willingly proferred to the next generation of poets.
